In The News

The principals of M&A are quoted regularly and frequently in publications ranging from Business Week and Forbes to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, New York Post, Los Angeles Times, and other major publications worldwide. M&A has been the subject of interviews on business-radio and television programs including the Fox Business News, CBS MarketWatch, The Street.com TV, Yahoo! Finance TV, Sirius XM Radio, BBC-Worldwide and CNBC. Below are links to a sample of articles in which M&A has been quoted:

In some ways, the middle market is like the middle child. None of the luster, experience and maturity of the larger, established concern. None of the freshness, entrepreneurial vigor and promise of the startup or emerging company.

The M&A Advisor and ACG New York, two associations that promote and support the middle market, decided to redress the relative neglect of these companies by putting on a night of recognition on June 21, held at Sotheby's. The organizers came up with 25 award categories, from the Deal of Year (in three different ranges), to the facilitators (lawyers and CPAs), to verticals like manufacturing, health care and IT.

No single organization dominated the event, but Marlin & Associates, LLC, an investment banking and strategic advisory firm, came pretty close.

The firm is led by founder Ken Marlin, who previously worked at the media merchant bank and private equity fund Veronis Suhler Stevenson. He also spent time doing deals at Dun & Bradstreet, before taking over Telekurs (NA) a global information technology and data firm he eventually sold to Bridge Information Systems. A former Marine, he is a member of the boards of the Phoenix House Foundation and Madison Square Boys and Girls Club and supports the Wall Street Warriors Foundation and the BJ/SPSA Homeless shelter.

Citybizlist was not familiar with Marlin, whose work is often done behind the scenes (we reported the SWIFT acquisition, but there was no mention of Marlin). But once The Eye has spotted you, you are fair game for a host of future articles.
